D A Bm A G A D
VERSE:
D A Bm A
It was the night before Christmas nineteen ninety five
G D E A
You broke her poor heart and she shattered your pride
D A Bm7 A
Outside that little honky tonk in Nashville, Tennessee
G A D
Neon never looked so dim to me
VERSE:
D A Bm A
So you went back to your barstool, reopened your tab
G F#m E A
The barkeep came by and asked why you looked so sad
D A Bm7 A
Well you said it was nothin, but you knew that was a lie
G A D
Tried your best not to break down and cry
CHORUS:
D A Bm
Then you said daaamn, darlin'
A G D E A
Oh why&rsquo d you have to leave me alone in this bar
D A Bm
With no daaamn, damn darlin'
A G A D
Oh Nashville you&rsquo ve broken my heart
INSTRUMENTAL:
D A Bm A G A D
VERSE:
D A Bm A
Then the jukebox started playing for the first time all night
G F#m E A
Since the band loaded out and they said their goodbyes
D A Bm A
And the first song they played was one she loved to hear
G A D
So you listened as you finished your beer
VERSE:
D A Bm A
And then that tear that Hank talked about, fell right on in
G D E A
Out of your eye and over the rim
D A Bm A
Of that glass that just became your only true friend
G A D
Hearts break harder, at the old Exit/In
CHORUS:
D A Bm
Then you said daaamn, darlin'
A G D E A
Well why&rsquo d you have to leave me alone in this bar
D A Bm
With no daa-amn, darlin'
A G A D
Oh Nashville you&rsquo ve broken my heart
OUTRO:
G A D

G A Bm A E
Oh Nashville you&rsquo ve broken my heeeeeeart
G D Em D
Woh oh you have broken my-y, my heart
